In this tutorial I will show you a simple way to create smoke effect on your photo. Sometimes it will turn out to be a horrible image!
Step 1: First open the picture you want to apply this effect. You can find a great one here 
Step 2: Create a new layer and go to Filter > Render > Clouds 
Go to Filter > Render > Difference Clouds and press Ctrl-F to repeat this effect about 8 times until you get something like this 
Step 3: Change the Blending mode of this layer to Overlay. Although we can see the smoke but it is not impressive yet 
Step 4: Now press Ctrl-J to duplicate this layer about 5 times and select all these layers, right click and choose Merge Layers 
Step 5: Change the Blending Mode of this layer to Overlay again to see the result 
The smoke looks more real and impressive now!
